Another Season in the Books.

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

The Tampa Bay Rays 2009 season is now in the books, and it is quite a collection of stories. 
Beloved main characters were lost.  Rocco Baldelli defected to enemy territory.  Jonny Gomes found success in a different city, and Scott Kazmir headed to LA to try to become a star.
The team’s story got off to a […]

Confessions of a Raysaholic

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Even though it doesn’t seem like it around here lately, I am still addicted to the Rays.  I love these guys, but they really have me torn this year between good baseball sense and basic emotions.
For example, I love Andy Sonnanstine and he’s really handsome but I did not want him on the mound Tuesday […]

The I Should Have Gone to Bed Game…

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Life has been pretty crazy around here, but last night I made an effort to watch the game as I was tooling around the house getting stuff done.  Kazmir was looking great.  He and Zaun seemed to have things figured out.  The offense was struggling until Kapler decided it was time to take the lead.  […]

Willy doesn’t know what all the fuss is about…

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

This scoring runs thing isn’t that hard.  Willy can do it from both sides of the plate. 
I’m not the only one that’s been saying the Rays need to get Aybar’s bat in the line-up, and today he showed exactly why.  He’s got a little pop.  Just ask James Shields if he wants him in the […]

Save it…

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

James Shields doesn’t want to hear it.  Save it.  He’s heard all the excuses.  He wants to know what the hell he has to do to get a little love around here.  Pitch seven innings of no-hit ball?  Check.
What else is it going to take?  Surf and turf after the game?  Lap dances?  Sham-Wows?  He only […]

FabuKaz!

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Scott Kazmir was faboosh tonight!  He actually pitched seven innings.  Seven.  He outdueled Sabathia.  Unbelievable.
His name has come up in trade rumors, and as is typical I have a total chick reaction to that.  I know it might be best for the team, but it’s Scott Kazmir.  He was good for the Rays when no […]

Come On!

Monday, July 27th, 2009

This game made me grouchy right from the get go!  Why the heck wasn’t it in HD?  Come on!
Where is Brian Anderson?  I want Brian Anderson.  Come on!
What is it about AJ Burnett?  The Rays seem to be rendered useless when he’s on the mound.  Is the snarl his source of power? Come on!
Shields had […]

Buehrle, Ya Big Bully.

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

First let me start by saying I’m not a fan of the White Sox.  Matter of fact they are one of the teams I have an irrational distaste for.  I hate that every time they hit a home run there seems to be at least two runners on base.  I hate that the Rays seem […]

.025 percent of serious Rays fans thought they would win this game tonight, but they managed to pull it off.  Donuts for everyone! 
Kazmir looked good.  Kazmir looked strong.  Kazmir left because something was wrong. 
Hopefully it’s nothing serious.  Forearm cramps are easily treated right?
Barty drove in the first run for the Rays with one of his […]

The Rays are Broken.

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Is it my fault? 
I wanted the Rays to find a way to get Aybar’s bat in the line-up, and Pat the Bat got a kink in the neck.
I wanted Price to be brought up, and Kazmir got hurt.
I wanted Percy gone, and now he is.
I wanted Zobrist to get more playing time, and Aki got the Tom […]
